Physical activity is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your physical and mental health and quality of life as you get older.  Walking, stretching, and keeping your muscles in good condition will help you maintain your independence.

Physical inactivity makes your body age faster - Independent living depends on being able to do the things you want to do when you want to do them. To stay independent you need to be able to reach, bend, lift, carry and move around easily. Staying physically active will help you to keep moving, and stay strong.

Think about these facts:

• 60% of older adults are inactive
• Sitting or lying for long periods is a serious health risk
• Inactivity leads to declines in bone strength, muscle strength, hearth & lung fitness and flexibility
• Inactivity is as harmful to your health as smoking

It's easier than you think:

• Be physically active every day
• Start where you can and gradually build up
• Every little bit counts
• Add it up! Add a variety of activities each day in order to reach your goals
• Manage your Stress!
